hi!
we have folder redirection implemented in our company and it works fine for all but this one single user, and it worked fine for him as well, until recently. when he logged on his computer only some of the folders and files were visible in his my docs folder. he restarted the computer and after this he couldn't access his my docs folder at all. it kept saying that the network folder that contains my documents is not available.

i ran the gpresult /v command and found out that the computer settings have my document redirection filtered out and i don't know how to enable it for this specific computer.

if anyone knows how to do it i would appreciate any help.
tnx a lot.

have been made to Group Policy.

Folder redirection policy is not applied to client computers that are running Windows XP or Windows 2000

It could also be a corrupt profile.

gpresult /v command filtering for Folder Redirection is controlled by the GPO not the local policy.

thank u for ur reply!
i solved the problem, and it wasn't even hard to solve in the end :). i've ended up with two computers having the same name in ad, i'm not sure how it happened. it happened probably when the computer was changed with a new one. i deleted the computers in ad, put this specific computer to workgroup, restarted the computer, and then put it back to the domain again, and then it worked all fine and smooth again. :)
tnx
